Resources for the examination
You should note that these texts do not form the basis of the examination but are intended as a general guide only. In the case of the written examination, the papers are not set directly from these texts but if these texts (or similar) are understood, that knowledge will meet the examination standards.
Resources for preparing for the examination
The following references are available at either the Auckland University of Technology (AUT) North Shore Campus library or the North Shore Hospital Library - they are available for reference only (you cannot borrow them). You will be granted access to these texts during opening hours.
If you are not located in Auckland you should contact your local hospital about access to the dental books held in their medical library. In addition you can check if your local library can access books through interloan from the University of Otago library. It is your responsibility to make any arrangements regarding the borrowing and return of books.
If you are located overseas and do not have access to these libraries, you may be able to find these resources online or at your local libraries.
